This is fantastic news! Much better for business trips. Finally, a prudent move from Estonian Air!

Sounds like an improvement. Was gatwick really a useful place to connect?

If you're flying to London, city is better. If you're connecting in London, Heathrow is better. Are there direct flights between TLL and LHR?

I agree with Joao. If you fly to London then City is the best choice but if you have connecting flights then Gatwick or Heathrow are by far the better choices in London, Heathrow the best. Stanstead on the other hand are NEVER the best choice - period.

I think the headline should be "Estonian Air wont compete with Easyjet so it runs away". With Easyjet moving their Tallinn flights to Gatwick, Estonian has changed routes to just about the worst of Londons airports...the worst actually being Luton. This is very unlikely to succeed as a venture as city airport is convenient to nothing except the morally bankrupt lands of the square mile and even worse, Docklands...

Why do you think City is not convenient? When I fly to London, I'm flying there for meetings in...the City. Or at least in central London. If I'm going to connect, why not do so from Amsterdam or Frankfurt? Connecting from London can often include airport transfers; London isn't a great place to connect from because of the Heathrow / Gatwick divide (I've very seldom found flight combinations from Europe -> London -> USA that connected through London. Europe -> London Heathrow -> London Gatwick -> USA is the more common route, which is a nightmare). I for one am extremely pleased with this development!

I am with those who consider this another Estonian Air mistake, strategically speaking. It's a small improvement for those whose destination is London as such, while remaining a big fat zero for those who have dreamed of being able to use London to connect conveniently to the World, and vv. (for those tired people coming from afar who'd like a no-muss no-fuss connection to Tallinn). Heathrow would have served those who are traveling only to London and the UK just fine, while making a broad selecton of international transfers so much more convenient for those who'd have liked to use Heathrow as a transfer point. Heathrow would have been the plum. This is a minor improvement over the past perhaps, but a mediocre and essentially wrong (half-baked) "accomplishment" and strategy overall.

Never going to work. City has a tiny runway, none of the EA planes, which have the range to reach the UK can handle this.
